Killed the spider boss with this handy boys

Make sure you don't wear armor around them

Because they will destroy it. Use bug repellent so they don't automatically attack you. If you need spoiled meat make sure you have each raw meat split up individually that way once 5 mins passes by it all spoils at once

They take tripled damage from weapons like longnecks, don’t use melee or whatever ur using will get destroyed. Get out ur longneck and aim for its head, 1 or 2 shots should do it

One of the best raiding dino's on the island, if not the best. It can destroy any material.

You And put it on aggressive, and it will become a living turret

By the way, they are on mobile, unfortunately

Cheat The yeti cave on mobile by doing it on an arthro, almost nothing attacks them

Good luck

Go in a cave with water if they are under water you can tame without them agroin you just use a scuba tank

Arrows do an INCREDIBLE amount of damage, so use those instead of letting it destroy your melee weapons!!! 🗡🏹

I will make a list of pros and cons about this creature:

Pros:

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING will aggro to you, even if you attack it

Inflicts torpor

Can melt armor, harvest dead bodies from afar with acid ball

Swims the same speed as walk

Cons:

Terrible weight (100) you're going to have to stuff your whole inventory somewhere, and maybe even your armor

Saddle requires 35 obsidian

Something I've noticed:

Wild ones can deal constant (like .5 sec between attacks) damage to you, but tamed ones, not even mounted ones can, and I get this needs to be balanced, but make it only work on wild creatures or something, I would love to see it work

PSA (public service announcement) that arthros have NO WEIGHT, hear that? NO WEIGHT. But on mobile this is easily counter-balanced by making it the land Itchysaurus so that means cave creatures and literally anything else just don't care about you, even if u hit them lol

Does anybody know where to find these on ark mobile i would like one for protection when scouting and i havent found any yet.

I recently constructed a 1x8 pen with walls in ARK Ascended, and I found an effective way to tame an Arthro. I used my Argent 🦅 to transport it inside the pen. After placing it in the enclosure, I patiently waited, and the Arthro naturally turned about 90 degrees, which caused it to become stuck. This allowed me to easily tame it using spoiled meat from a spot near the back end of the Arthro, right along the edge of the wall. This method proved to be a straightforward approach, eliminating the need to create bug repellent or worry about potential attacks. Overall, it was a simple and effective trap design!

It's can destroy tek walls. useful for tek raids

I find the best way to knock these out and tame them is to simply lead them into the water and grapple to them and they instantly de-aggro and it’s just a matter of feeding it. It has worked many times. Also no ghillie or bug repellent required 👍

It is very easy to defeat them, just use ranged weapons and then you are good

Don't attack with sword or it broken soon

They actually don't deal torpor with their mouth.

Lol the mr. wick and dog story got me. Anyways back to all seriousness unless u have armor and a sword or guns DO NOT ENGAGE. This beast will knock u out in like 1 bite and kills in like 3 or 4

How to tame : bring a scorpion, tamed within cave (easily, with a frog), so nothing gonna agro on you

Uses (tonnes of uses) :

1 destroy armour and structure, even Tek ones

2 has tonnes of damage, in range attack

3 primary attack give some torpidity (not so much, but some)

4 deals damage back (when something agros on you, it get some damage back)

5 As it mostly spawn in cave, just tame it within, so almost nothing would agro on you while riding (unless you'd stupidly use some extra weapon), and even if it randomly agroes on you, it would be just for few attacks form the opponent wild, so you'd be almost invincible

6 definitely the best fighter, even if it's a bit slow and low on stamina
